Early career
After graduating from East High School and graduating from Stony Brook University, Clark interned for then-Mayor of Rochester Bill Johnson. Clark went on to work for U.S. Senators Hillary Clinton and Kirsten Gillibrand, serving as Gillibrand's deputy state director from her appointment in 2009 onwards.[1][3]
Political career
In 2020, after incumbent Jamie Romeo was appointed as Monroe County Clerk, Clark announced she would run for the 136th district of the New York State Assembly. With the backing of Hillary Clinton, Kirsten Gillibrand, and the Working Families Party, Clark handily won the Democratic primary 63-28% over county legislator Justin Wilcox.[4] Clark faced no major-party opposition in the general election, and was seated in the Assembly on November 12.[5][6]
In 2022, Clark was re-elected to a second term after defeating Republican candidate, Orlando Rivera, with 64% of the vote.[7]
Personal life
Clark lives in the Maplewood neighborhood of Rochester with her husband, John, and their three children.[3]
